I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1101: Strong Opposition

On the evening after Qi Xiumei returned from the United States, Su Shicheng unusually went home on time.

His wife was away on a business trip and his daughter wasn't around either, so he was quite idle at home. Today, his wife came back, so he specially finished his work early and planned to go home and have a meal with her.

When he arrived home, the meal was already prepared. Su Shicheng put down his briefcase and washed his hands.

At the dinner table, while eating, he casually asked, "How is it? Is Nannan doing well in America?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiumei immediately lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks.

After all, they had been married for many years, and Su Shicheng immediately noticed his wife's unusual behavior: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Qi Xiumei looked troubled: "My daughter is in love."

Su Shicheng was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed and said, "This is a good thing. She's twenty-one this year, and will be twenty-two next year. It's normal for her to be in a relationship. Why are you making such a fuss?" Su Shicheng was an open-minded father who welcomed the idea of ​​dating. After all, it's only natural for men to marry and women to be married when they're of age.

Qi Xiumei shook her head: "But that boy's family has some problems."

Upon hearing this, Su Shicheng immediately put down his chopsticks. He was happy to see his daughter in love, but that didn't mean he would approve of just anyone.

Qi Xiumei recounted her entire experience in Los Angeles and the situation of Maowa.

At first, Su Shicheng didn't think much of it, but when he learned that Maowa's mother was still serving time in prison, his expression changed.

"Serving a sentence?"

Qi Xiumei sighed: "I only found out after I went there. The boy is actually quite nice. He's from Shanghai, studying biology at UCLA, and plans to study medicine in the future. He's good-looking, and he's very composed in his speech and work. You can tell he's sincere towards our daughter. But when I think of his mother..."

Su Shicheng's expression was rather grim. He asked, "Do you know what you've done?"

"He was convicted of fraud and sentenced to several years. He'll be released next month." Qi Xiumei told her husband everything she knew.

Su Shicheng slammed his hand on the table, making the bowls and chopsticks bounce: "Nonsense! How could Nannan keep such a big thing from us?"

Qi Xiumei said with exasperation, "The key is that my daughter already knew about this, and that child is honest; she told her right away."

"Knowing this, why are you still together?" Su Shicheng lost his appetite and stood up, pacing back and forth.

"If word gets out that we married a relative with a criminal record, how am I supposed to continue as a lawyer? People will be pointing fingers at me and tearing me apart."

Seeing Su Shicheng like this, Qi Xiumei could understand. Firstly, she didn't want to make things difficult for her daughter in the future, and secondly, he had worked in the legal field in Shanghai for so many years, and what he cared about most was his reputation.

Su Shicheng looked at his wife and asked, "What did you say back then?"

"Of course I clearly expressed my opposition, but my daughter is stubborn. She told me that her mother is her mother and she is herself, and that she wants to stay in the United States and won't affect us."

Su Shicheng sneered: "She makes it sound so easy. That's because she lacks social experience. What will happen when she gets married and has children? Will the children come back? Will they meet their grandparents? Can this be kept a secret for long?"

He added, "No, I have to call her."

Dear fans of Four Seasons Leeks, the latest chapter of "1990, I'm Back" has been released!

Qi Xiumei checked the time: "Now?"

"Now, the sooner the better." Su Shicheng immediately took out his phone and dialed his daughter Su Jin's number.

It was still early morning in Los Angeles when Maowa was woken up by his phone ringing. He groggily saw that it was Su Jin's phone ringing and nudged Su Jin next to him, saying, "It's your phone."

Su Jin answered the phone sleepily, "Hello! Who is it?"

"It's me!"

Upon hearing her father Su Shicheng's voice, Su Jin immediately woke up. She sat up, looked at the baby beside her, then got out of bed and went to the living room, making sure to close the bedroom door behind her.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? What do you mean, what's wrong?" Su Shicheng was furious. "Your mother told me about that Xiao Huang and his mother. Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

Su Jin held her phone; she knew this day would come sooner or later.

"Dad, I didn't mean to keep it from you. I just wanted to tell you in person after we returned to China."

Su Shih-cheng ignored his daughter's explanation: "To my face, I also hold the same attitude. I disagree. Do you know what it means that his mother has been sentenced to prison?"

Su Jin didn't back down: "I know, but his mother is his mother, and he is himself. He did nothing wrong. Besides, he has lived with his father since he was a child. He knows nothing about his mother's affairs, and it has nothing to do with him."

Su Shicheng's voice suddenly rose significantly: "What do you mean it doesn't matter? No matter what, she's still his biological mother! If you two get married in the future, she'll be your mother-in-law. Can you stop having contact with her? Can you guarantee she won't cause any more trouble?"

Su Jin panicked: "Dad! Maowa said that his mother definitely won't make the same mistake again after she gets out."

"You believe that? My dear girl!" Su Shicheng began to earnestly advise, "You are still young and don't know how treacherous people can be. Some people's personalities can't be changed. I'm a lawyer, and I've seen too many things like this."

"Dad, you can't be so hasty. You've never even met him, how do you know he's bad? He's excellent, he has great grades at UCLA, he even received a scholarship, and he's been incredibly good to me..."

Su Shicheng interrupted his daughter without any politeness: "Let's put aside the fact that I'm good to you for now. There's still a long road ahead. You need to consider practical matters."

Unable to persuade her father, Su Jin could only express her dissatisfaction through silence.

Su Shicheng knew his daughter's temperament, so he sensed it too. After calming himself down, he slowly said, "Daughter, I'm not an unreasonable person. Even if you find a child from an ordinary family, even if the family conditions are a little poor, as long as the person is ambitious, I won't object. But a mother with a criminal record is absolutely unacceptable. Listen to your father, since you haven't known each other for very long, you should break up as soon as possible and not get too deeply involved."

Su Jin stubbornly replied, "Dad, I won't break up with him."

Su Shicheng almost choked on his breath: "You..."

"He likes me, and I like him too. We promised to be together forever..."

Su Shicheng interrupted his daughter again: "I'm not discussing this with you. Think it over carefully, and I'll call you again in a couple of days."

After Su Jin put away her phone and turned around, she found Maowa standing at the bedroom door looking at her. She immediately hugged him and burst into tears.

Maowa kept comforting her.
